MAKING BEEswAx.

The Rendering of Combs Into Wax by Arti-
fetal Heat the Suns Rays.
The rendering of combs into beeswax
can be affected bv artificial heat, or by
the suns rays. The heating on stoves
or bv steam is the most usual way, but
many inexperienced persons spoil their
wax either by melting it without water,
or by overlooking, or by using dirty
iron kettles. When comb is melted
over stove, it is not absolutely neces-
sary to have an apparatus expressly
made for the purpose. Any ordinary
boiler will answer A great deal of
water should be used, and a moderate
heat applied. When the wax is
thoroughly melted, it can be dipped off
the top, by using piece of wire-cloth
shaped like dipper, hung in the kettle
to prevent the coarsest impurities from
being dipped out. We have never seen
any old combs, no matter how old, that
did not make nice yellow wax when
treated in this manner, or by the use of
a wax-extractor. AS matter of course
a good wax-extractor, properly used,
will give cleaner wax at the first melt
ing.
If steam is used to melt comb, it
should not be turned directly on the
comb, but into the water below it, the
steam often damaging the wax, and
making it grainy and green-looking.
This same unpleasant result is some
times attained by overlooking.
If some wax remains in the dregs it
is not advisable to throw away these
residues. We have never yet seen any
process that separated them so COM
pletely that they could be called worth
less. Wax-bleachers usually press the
wax out of them in small press, while
hot. But cheaper way, on a small
scale, is to preserve them, or rather the
best of them, in box, exposed to the
weather, until more comb has to be
melted, when they can be melted again
with it. The exposure to the weather
dissolves the foreign substances, but
not the wax, which, to all appearances,
is indestructible.
Cappings of honey are melted in the
same manner as old combs. 1t is we'll,
however, to work them first in warm
water, to separate the honey that is
to advantage in cider or wine making,
and for vinegar. Honey-vinegar is the
very best that is made.
We have many times heard it said
that it did not pay to melt old combs,
but this is mistake. 1t is not advisable
to melt them with nice new combs, but
any apiarist who will try rational
methods can find a profit in melting
the very oldest and dirtiest combs that
can be found. The heat of the sun, in
rendering the comb, makes the finest
beeswax, as it not only melts it, but
partly bleaches it, and we have to thank
our Italian brothers for the first idea Of
this, as well as for the invention of the
extractor. Thus far, however, little
use has been made of this discovery;
but the time is not far distant when the
solar extractors will be as plentifully
found as steam or stove extractors. This
method will have the advantage of Civ
ing clean wax at the first melting, with
out any danger of spelling it.-C p.

BOYS ON THE FARM.

Why Every Agriculturist Should Aim to
BE u Judicious Guide to His Son.
The farmer son should, before he is
ten years of age, become intimate with
his father in his plans, prospects and
observations. AT an early age he should
be familiar with the fact that all the
stock require salt at regular and also
at irregular periods; with the time for
watering and quantity; with some of
the common evidences of disease; with
methods of driving or riding, etc. On
this latter topic some boys of
''ripened age" are not as well informed
as is desirable. How large a proper
ton of the men who start out with
team from the farm know how to feed
it before starting? How many on going
trip of ten or fifteen miles know that
it is much better for the team to take a
moderate gait for the first half, and II
necessary the rapid gait for the latter
half? Too many farmers are content
with the injunction to the boys, Ego
slow" when they should know that
long drive requires often variety of
rate.
The boys, too, should have some OPP
portunities of observation other than
the farm affords. The fairs and
stock sales, as well as the
meetings of the farmers institutes,
can be made good object lessons.
A judicious guide, with suggestions
in such things, every farmer should
strive to be to his son. When he asks
a question that you can not answer at
the time, it is the better course to have
him consult the books for himself, re-
ferring him to the proper authority. ---

Stories Of the French Press.

If one may credit the French press,
fifteen minutes before Queen Victoria
dimes all the guests take their seats in a
semi-circ1e, and a band plays ''The Roast
Beef of Old England" Then her majesty
enters, shakes hands with the ladies
salutes the gentlemen, and leads the way
to the dining room. At table all her
relatives sit at her left hand and the
other guests at her right. She always
wears gloves at table, except at state din
ners. According to the British constitu-
ton, no one is allowed to address a re-
mark directly to her, but must speak to
some one else loudly enough for the
queen to overhear. But the queen has
the right to speak to any one. All of
which is implicitly believed by M. Crap

The German soldiers Big Boots.

In the German army the fatherland
kindly provides very rOOmy boots for its
warriors. There is very serious incOn-
venience, however, attending the dispro-
portion between the sizes of boot and
feet In very soft, tenacious ground tse
boots are felt sticking. while the man
goes on, casting an affectionate farewell
look behind him, but halt he cannot
When the Eighteenth army corps, two
years ago, detiled before the emperor at
Strasburg across a stubble field, which
rain had rendered very sticky and
muddy, the boots of the infantry were
pulled off by hundreds, so that fatigue
party had to he told off, amid great laugh
ter, to gather up the lost property. This
is no eXaggeratiOn, and in military his
tory the occasion is still known as the
''boOt parade" Three or four years ago
at the maneuvers near Berlin we saw
thousands of men suffering agony from
boots that wrung their feet. This is
very important matter, and would tell
seriously in a campaign.-NewY York

New Artificial Leather.

Some of the new artificial leather made
in Germany is being applied successfully
to industrial fabricatiOns. The substance
is prepared by mixing with 8 or 10
per cent. of sinews and pressed into
sheets like ordinary leather cardboard.
The materials are made separately.
Pieces of leather are washed, cut, boiled
in alkaline lye, torn, neutralized with
hydrochloric acid, and finally carefully
washed once more to remove all traces of
acid. To this are added sinews, which
are treated similarly, but steamed in an
acid bath until they are like glue After
being thus prepared, the materials are
mixed, pressed into sheets, moistened on
both sides with a concentrated solution
of alum, and the upper surface is at last
given a thin coat of caoutchOuc in solu-
ton with carbonic bisulphide. Boston

The Dangerous Condition of shock. -


If an individual receives a severe IN
Jury to the head conclusion of the bra1n),
or is crushed or mangled in railway &C
cident. or is extensively burned or scalded
the state of "shock'' is brought about.
The surface becomes pale and blOodless,
there is sickness at the stomach, dizzi-
ness. ringing in the ears, cit gets black
before the eyes," the breathing becomes
hurried and signing. the pulse quick and
feeble, and if this goes on to greater eX-
tremes, loss of consciousness or even
death results. The blood has left the
surface and the brain and most of it has
gravitated to the abdominal cavity. The
effect for the moment is the same as if
it had left the body by way of a severed
artery. AS some one has said, when a
man is killed by shock" he has "bled
to death into his own veins" When the
blood is thus withdrawn from the brain,
the heart no longer receives the nervous
force necessary for it to continue beat
ing The lungs are in similar starved
condition and the breathing is interfered
with or stops altogether. All this, be
cause the nerves whose duty it is to keep
the blood vessels of the abdominal cavity
in a state of partial contraction are para
lyzed and can no longer do their work.
Minor degrees of shock are Familiarity
known as fainting attacks.-COr. Globe

artist. He kept his word, and up to the
time of his death, four years later,
never sent another picture to the acad-
envy. But when he lay on his death bed
he sent for Sir Joshua Reynolds and be-
came reconciled to him, addressing to
him his last words: eve are all going to

A QUEEN,

CTrled in the lush, cool grass at noon she lesj
Half raised her shining head from of the bed
OF foxgloves and of peoples round her spread
Above them glitters out her baneful eyes.
About her shoulders streams of hair afioat:
Around her 1.-THE, soft motiOned form close cling
Her garments tinged like leaves in early spring
And leaving bare her cleaning arms and throat
Impatient writhes the slender coiled limbs
From expectation; yet insatiate.
While ever on. the watch the keen eyes wait;
No plying film their subtle brightness dins.
A little hiss of laughter that ensnares;
A fatal power that turks meath every grace;
A spell resistless in the false fair face;
A poisoned fang that strikes us unawares.

A Choir Singers Precautions. z

A choir singer has to use many precau-
tions of which an ordinary mortal seldom
thinks. She must not eat directly before
singing, must guard against even the
slightest draught and must never get her
feet damp or stand in a cold place to
sing. Heat makes the voice more flexi-
bic, and it is said that a pretty soloist in
one of the uptown churches runs up and
down the choir loft for a quarter of an
hour each Sunday morning in winter to
get up a circulation, and always stands
on warm bricks to sing.-New York

Low Rents in London.

Rents are falling in London at re-
markable rate, owing chiefly to the re-

suburban extensions and the improved
facilities for reaching these suburbs.
The change is confined chiefly to the
most populous and least wealthy districts.
